Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[Moonwatcher]

We absolutely need to pump WCE and North. North are not a team that surrender meekly despite their lowly position.

They do every now and then, but generally not 2 weeks in a row.

 

[Amacca 23]

That's a shame...

Hopefully they bottom out completely and have zero draft capital

 

[Mattrox]

And what else?

I mean we did enjoy Port's hubris because in the end there was no "last puzzle piece" and it was clear they played on emotion and had to be "up" or they were vulnerable. These became self-evident in Kens's tenure and oh-boy wowee we enjoyed their misplaced belief in playing "the Port Adelaide way".

Lot's of fun was had.

 

[Mattrox]

Or they are playing like a team who knows how long the season is and is doing enough to win

Loss to GC by 6 points in Qld - looking like they had jet lag
Loss to Freo at the MCG by 1 point - not definitive
Loss to a likely finals opponent - Brisbane - could be the end of their taper

I get the feeling they are doing what they need to do

Then again I also though Sydney were unbeatable last year

It would be a pity if they got a little too cute...

 

[Iridescence]

Butters certainly played like he was fully checked out

It was as if that Irish dude who tagged him all game just completely broke his spirit.

 

[ams4crows]

Dudley's condition doesn't scream AFL footballer.

And yet I would take Dudley every day of the week over the fit looking Jesse Motlop.

Dudley knows where the goals are, just enjoys a pie or two, he's playing his role very well.

 

[latinoheat]

What the **** is that sleeping bag he is wearing?

George CantStandYa what’s your take ?

 

[George CantStandYa]

George CantStandYa what’s your take

Hmm, was the first part of the interview asking about NAS? Because the question was about Butters and seemed he brought NAS into it.

He did seem cocky though

Exactly, I’m not sure nas was mentioned previously, so why bring his name up.
And seemed to suggest that they have what is required to get a deal done.
NAS is port bound imo

He’s an idiot if he is

Some guy on the Carlton board is saying Cripps wants out to WA at the end of the year

Oh boy

 

[Moonwatcher]

Allowing the autofill on the afl.com ladder predictor places Hawthorn 9th. I'd be happy with that

 

[Moonwatcher]

Top 9 record against each other now sits as this,

Brisbane 7-4
Geelong 6-4
Freo 6-2
Adelaide 5-5
Collingwood 5-5
GC 5-5
GWS 5-5
Hawthorn 3-6
Bulldogs 2-8

Freo happy to play anyone anywhere all of a sudden.

Oh boy

That would be something. And while it was spoken of and speculated on in the media, it seems like Silvagni to Collingwood is a done deal. Signed, sealed and delivered !!!

 

[Moonwatcher]

Oh boy

At least they have Crazy Vossy's experience at recruiting a team in short time.

 

[FR0GGY]

Shocked I tell you!

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Some guy on the Carlton board is saying Cripps wants out to WA at the end of the year

Oh boy

We should put in a bid

 

[Danger in Texas]

We should put in a bid

Wouldn’t be a chance IMO, if he wants to go to his home state

If we were going to put in a bid for an older, potentially disgruntled mid - I’d go for Jack Steele. No real links anywhere else, plus fills a need as a clearance beast

 

[jenny61_99]

From that, Butters is leaving and Port are using the pick on NWM.

Cutting their nose off to spite their face …. AGAIN?

“Senior people at Port Adelaide believe they’re in front of the Crows in the race for GWS F/A Isaac Cumming. Collingwood can offer Harry Perryman a better role but his close relationship with Cumming may help Port’s case. Power can afford Lukosius and both Giants”​

Have you never listened to the bloke before ?? Hes always cocky

It takes effort and hard work in the gym to build size. You have to want to do the work.

Port seem to have a culture of "hang with your mates, get well paid and play a game of Footy".


You don't build size with that attitude.

Compare the core strength of Sog v Butters/Rozee.

Well at least one of their players isn't 10-15kegs undersized, probably the other way if we were telling the turtle truth

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Oh boy

Carlton go full rebuild...

Picks for Cripps & TDK.

 

[Mutineer]

Butters is pretty easy to take out of the game.

Defend him and he gives up, ie today.

Or let him get cheap ball with zero impact, like us last week.


He woukd not be in the top 20 players in the league, barely top 30.

Nit even Port's best player. JHF and Alir are

OK give us the 29 better then...
